Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 73 The Secret of Foundation Building (10,000 words update, please subscribe)

Shen Xuan had met her once a few years ago, but didn't think much of it.

Yu Jiancheng, on the other hand, was peeling a spirit fruit in one hand and holding a wine cup in the other. His mouth was wide open, unable to close, and his eyes were full of surprise.

Very normal.

The first time I saw Qin Yuehan up close, her breathtaking beauty was truly stunning.

"Shen Xuan, it's been a long time."

Qin Yuehan's beautiful eyes swept over everyone in the private room before finally settling on Shen Xuan.

"what!"

Qin Yuehan suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

A slight smile appeared on her usually aloof and cold face.

Shen Xuan knew that Qin Yuehan had seen through his disguise.

On the surface, his cultivation level is Qi Refining Level 6.

Therefore, even though Zhao Sujin revealed his identity as a talisman master, Yu Jiancheng still ignored him.

"who are you!"

Lu Zhengying walked up behind Qin Yuehan and shouted angrily at Yu Jiancheng.

A perfectly good class reunion was disrupted by the presence of outsiders.

Moreover, they also brought a six or seven-year-old child with them!
He sat down in the chairman's seat with impunity!
"I……

"Elder Lü, I am Yu Jiancheng, Zhao Sujin's husband. I wish to..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Lu Zhengying then shouted, "What do you want to do!"

"This is no place for someone like you to act so recklessly in Juxianlou!"

"Wang Fugui!"

Wang Fugui quickly stepped forward.

"exist!"

"I entrusted Juxianlou to you to manage, and this is how you manage it?"

"Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can sit in my Juxianlou's VIP box!"

"You've ruined Juxianlou's reputation, can you afford to pay for it?"

Wang Fugui had no choice but to walk up to Yu Jiancheng.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, I will arrange another private room for you. Please move in."

Under Lü Zhengying's powerful and furious pressure, Yu Jiancheng dared not utter a word and obediently led his young son out.

"Zhao Sujin, go out and take care of them!" Lü Zhengying said coldly.

Zhao Sujin's face immediately turned deathly pale.

They were all in their seventies or eighties, so they understood perfectly well that Lü Zhengying disliked the couple and kicked them out of the class reunion.

"Fairy Qin..."

Zhao Sujin looked at Qin Yuehan pitifully.

Qin Yuehan remained silent.

Wave gently.

Inside the VIP box.

The table was tidied up again.

Wang Fugui gently closed the door and released the array's restrictions.

"ridiculous!"

Lu Zhengying glared at Wang Fugui, her anger still simmering.

"never mind!"

Qin Yuehan spoke softly, her voice like a silver bell, melodious and pleasant to the ear.

Only then did Lü Zhengying turn her attention to Shen Xuan.

"what!"

He was a little puzzled.

Even with his Foundation Establishment level divine sense, he couldn't see through Shen Xuan's cultivation level.

"Shen Xuan, what is your cultivation level?"

"Eighth level of Qi Refining".

"No. You're practicing the [Divine Treasure Vast Ocean Technique] that Master gave you, right? Among the Qi Refining level eight practitioners in the sect, none are as strong as you!"

"I also practiced the Azure Water Sect's [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique] and [Water Spirit Gathering Yuan Technique]."

Shen Xuan explained with a smile.

"Moreover, I seem to have awakened some hidden bloodline talents, and my spiritual roots have improved."

Inside the private room, Li Chang'an was sent away by Wang Fugui under a pretext.

Besides Shen Xuan, there are only Qin Yuehan, Lü Zhengying, and Wang Fugui.

After consulting numerous cultivation classics, Shen Xuan gained a deeper understanding of spiritual roots and bloodlines.

Not only do demonic beasts possess bloodline talents, but human cultivators do as well.

Moreover, as their bloodline talent awakens, their spiritual root aptitude will also improve.

However, such human cultivators are relatively few in number, and they are usually from prestigious families or whose ancestors were once wealthy.

This was the excuse he had prepared before he came.

"Shen Xuan is a true master who doesn't reveal his abilities!"

Lu Zhengying didn't press the matter further. "Fairy Qin was worried that your spiritual root aptitude was too poor to advance, so she specially exchanged a Creation Pill for you!"

Shen Xuan was taken aback.

He had heard of the Creation Elixir.

A first-grade superior spiritual pill can improve a cultivator's spiritual root aptitude.

The lower the cultivation level and the worse the spiritual root, the better the effect.

The first one works best.

Later, drug resistance developed, greatly reducing its effectiveness, or even rendering it ineffective.

"Now it seems that it's really not necessary!"

Lü Zhengying looked quite regretful.

"How many spirit stones?"

Shen Xuan's heart stirred, and he asked aloud.

"Five hundred sect contribution points. That's equivalent to one thousand spirit stones!"

"It's too expensive; it's not something someone like me can afford," Shen Xuan sighed.

A thousand spirit stones, plus a little more, can buy a top-grade demon beast's essence blood.

Instead of spending that money on Creation Pills, it would be better to plunder the bloodline talents of demonic beasts and improve one's spiritual root aptitude.

"A top-grade first-tier spirit pill! I gritted my teeth and swallowed one! Only then did I risk everything to build my foundation!"

"By the way, Elder Lü, what is Foundation Establishment like...?"

The four of them ate and chatted.

It felt like stepping back into our school days, exchanging ideas with each other in a simple and sincere way.

Zhao Sujin and Li Chang'an were not present at this gathering; it was just the four of them, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Wang Fugui cracked jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

Most of the time, Shen Xuan was asking the questions, and Lü Zhengying was answering.

Wang Fugui had long lost interest in spiritual practice.

He has a low-grade spiritual root.

His peak was at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

As for the Creation Pill...

Don't say you can't buy it.

Even if he could buy it, he wouldn't be willing to take it.

No one can guarantee that he will be able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining after taking a Creation Pill.

As the core figure among the classmates and holding the highest position, the conversation naturally revolved around Qin Yuehan.

Through casual conversation, Shen Xuan learned many unspoken rules of the sects in the cultivation world, rules that were difficult for lower-level cultivators to access.

"The Qingyun Sect will not sell Foundation Establishment Pills to the public."

Qin Yuehan gave a general explanation of the contribution point system of the Qingyun Sect.

"Those Foundation Establishment families who participated in the pioneering work, after finally exchanging for a Foundation Establishment Pill, will not sell it to others."

"Shen Xuan, if you really want to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, there is another way."

"You can collect the Foundation Establishment medicines and materials yourself, and with Lu Zhengying and I as guarantors, find a sect alchemist to refine them for you."

Shen Xuan's eyes lit up.

This is indeed a good idea.

With Qin Yuehan and Lü Zhengying as guarantors, he was not afraid that the alchemists of Qingyun Sect would devour his foundation-building medicinal materials.

"However, the three main ingredients and eight auxiliary ingredients of the Foundation Building Pill are quite expensive."

“It would be difficult for an ordinary cultivator to collect all of them. I have some extra medicinal herbs that I can offer you at a discount.”

Qin Yuehan explained the composition of the Foundation Building Pill in detail.

The most important ingredients are the Transformation Fruit, Purple Spirit Flower, and Jade Spirit Grass, all of which are over three hundred years old.

Among them, the fruit of transformation is the rarest.

Therefore, some alchemists have taken a different approach, using some high-grade demon cores to replace the Transformation Fruit.

Only second-tier demonic beasts can produce demonic cores, which are the prototypes of demonic beast inner cores.

This kind of demon core that can replace the Transformation Fruit requires the demon beast to have the highest bloodline and rank, pure demon power, and the ability to be neutralized and balanced by other medicinal materials.

A demon beast with a suitable demon core possesses formidable strength, and an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would certainly be no match for it.

The Transformation Fruit and a high-quality demon core are both essential for refining Foundation Establishment Pills of any attribute.

While Qin Yuehan explained the formula for the Foundation Building Pill, Lü Zhengying and Wang Fugui listened quietly.

The two looked at Shen Xuan with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

One explained in detail, and the other listened attentively.

Even a fool could see that Shen Xuan genuinely intended to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill and attempt to establish his foundation.

But he's already seventy-five years old!

It is common knowledge in the cultivation world that cultivators in the Qi Refining stage begin to experience a decline in their Qi and blood at the age of sixty.

Therefore, the best age to begin foundation building is before the age of sixty.

Lu Zhengying was a few years late, and she was extremely anxious.

To establish a foundation, wealth, companions, location, and methods are all indispensable.

Spiritual stones and elixirs, foundation-building methods, foundation-building training grounds, and one's own cultivation techniques—if any one of these links fails, success is impossible!
"Shen Xuan, if you have completed the Qi Refining stage and collected all the necessary materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, you might as well come to the Qingyun Sect to find me. Perhaps I can lend you a hand."
